TRI Princeton

We are excited to announce our third keynote speaker for the 12th TRI International Conference on Applied Hair Science! Gabriela Daniels will give a presentation titled ‘Human hair diversity: Integrating science and consumer realities’. Our Conference will take place on Tuesday 2nd to Thursday 4th June 2026, at the Oyster Point Hotel, Red Bank, New Jersey.

The third talk in the series is by Dr. Larry Senak, a Principal Scientist at TRI, and will consider the use of confocal Raman spectroscopy to determine the alterations to disulfides bonds in hair structure after chemical treatments (such as bleaching or relaxing), or thermal treatments (e.g. blow-drying and flat ironing). 

A total of 154 people registered to listen to Murielle’s talk, entitled “Pin Straight to Ringlet Coil and Every Frizz In Between: Laboratory Methods that Quantify Straightness and Alignment”. The presentation featured research undertaken in partnership with Bossa Nova Vision (USA) and Ayton Global Research (UK).
